FanFormula: Week 15. Spain.

So this week's FanFormula video is of course all about Spain.
I thought it was a pretty boring race myself.
I mean controversy, a new winner and then fire with added bravery. 
Standard race really.
(Haha of course I jest)

So in this week's FanFormula. I do some more singing, I teach you all a new hand gesture and I get angry that I can't say the word incident. 

This week's FanFormula questions.

Question One. 
Qualifying saw Hamilton's penalty and Karthikeyan's qualifying outside the 107% rule. What do you make of both incidents and the resulting steward decisions?

Question Two
In the Senna vs Schumi crash, who did you think was at fault?

Question Three
Maldonado took his first victory in Spain (The first Williams win since 2004). Do you think this signals the return of Williams to the top of the grid or is this just another topsy turvy result for the 2012 season?

Bonus Question
Who would you say drove the best race at Catalunya and why?

F1 Fitty of the week. Romain Grosjean.

I realised lately that it has been a while since I did a 'F1 Fitty of the week' post. Either retro or current.
And at this rate I will start having to call the posts 'F1 fitty when I can be arsed'.

So. To get back into the swing of things I have made a huge list of F1 Fitties to keep us going till at least June. Hoorah.

So on to this week's F1 Fitty of the week.
Now this fitty holds a special place in my heart now.
In fact I seem to be talking about him on a consistent basis.
(I may need to get out some more.)

He may like to confuse us by pretending to French, when in fact he is actually Swiss.
He may also look like a  Jenson Button doppelganger who's accidentally mated with a giraffe.
But don't let that put you off.

Because he is the most happiest, most smilest Formula One driver I have ever seen.
And that helps make him even more attractive.

This week's F1 fitty is Romain Grosjean.


Now this former banker (Easy. I said banker) hasn't always had it easy in the Formula One world.
A replacement drive for Nelson 'Crashgate' Piquet in the 2009 Renault half way through the season didn't exactly set the world on fire.
In fact no one really noticed that he even left. Maybe he was hiding behind his huge, man bush hair do.
*Shudders*



So when it was announced that Romain would be driving for Lotus in 2012. I didn't think too much of it.
In fact I thought it was a terrible decision.
"Not him again" were words that did come out of my mouth.

But then Australia came and it turns out three years of being out of the F1 spotlight has done Romain a world of good. His driving at the moment is superb (If you forget the crashes and slight technical failures) and his hair is even looking pretty marvellous as well.

And did I mention Romain's accent.


PHWOARRRRRRR.

So a beautiful face, accent and smile.
And that makes me in the words of Grosjean himself  'Very 'appy' indeed to have him as this week's F1 Fitty of the week.
